Details

on the above page, I get a dialog asking to download the page, instead of
viewing it.  The page is of type text/html, but it has a charset=iso-8859-1 to
try to prevent javascript attacks.  ISTR that this worked in prior versions of
mozilla, and works in konqueror and ns 4.7x.
note further that I saw this with 0.9.9, and again with a snapshot from today
(2002032508).
i'm still seeing this.
OS: Linux → All
I see this on the latest nightly (2002032803) for Win32 as well as the latest
nightly for Linux.

I confirmed that removing the charset=iso-8859-1 from the Content-type: header
fixes the problem, and also that this works in 0.9.8 .


OK.  I've traced this further.  it happens only when the page is using server
push via multipart/x-mixed-replace, and the content-type of each section
includes a charset.  so, it only happens under mozilla.  this works OK under 0.9.8.
